The most absurd things in the case to date

Sadly, we reached the eight-month milestone this week in the deaths of the Idaho 4.

When Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were murdered back on Nov. 13, 2022, little did we know this case would take its share of turns, speculation and more.

Yes, many murder cases are not all that cut and dry. There always seem to be a few twists and turns as they proceed to trial and even once the trial gets underway until it finishes.

I will say as both a journalist and an observer in general of notable crime cases that this case has become more confusing as the months go by.

Yes, I thought it was pretty safe to assume we had a 28-year-old stalker on our hands when Bryan Kohberger was first arrested and even for a while after that.

Flash-forward many months later and I feel it is much more involved than this.

IMO, this case will ultimately prove to show drugs were in play in some manner and that is what led to the deaths of these four University of Idaho students.

As we await a scheduled trial Oct. 2, though the date could well get pushed back to later in the year or even 2024, here are the 3 most absurd things I’ve found to date:

  1. IT IS COMMON TO SEE MASKED PEOPLE IN YOUR HOME AROUND 4 A.M. – When one of the two surviving roommates had her info in the probable cause affidavit released, it was noted that she saw a masked figure pass by her. Dylan Mortensen also reportedly went into a state of frozen shock if you will and closed her second floor bedroom door. Now, while I am grateful Mortensen did not end up a murder victim, her story has bothered me from day one. While her version of events that early morning may ultimately pan out, they are strange to say the least. The mask thing is what intrigues me and how so many of Mortensen’s defenders think it is perfectly normal to see a masked individual in your home around 4 a.m. I have heard from her defenders that such an individual could be one of the U of I frat guys playing a prank, COVID was still around at the time and the person was simply protecting themselves and so on. First, I doubt such a prank is going to take place at that time of the day given the potential risk it involves. Suppose one of the residents has a gun in the home and in a moment of fright in seeing a masked figure they pull the trigger. Would you wear a mask in someone’s home at that time of day in mostly if not all dark conditions for any reason other than you were trying to conceal a portion of your face? Second, how many college kids do you know wearing COVID masks in a home around 4 in the morning? Please, if you know such people, send them my way so I can interview them. Obviously this individual was trying to shield their identity IMO. Mortensen should have had alarm bells going off in her head whether she was totally sober, a little drunk, on something and so on. Sorry, but I’m not buying what the mask is normal at 4 ish in the morning in a home crowd is selling.
  2. STALKING IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE MOTIVE IN PLAY – How many individuals do you know brazen enough to walk into a strange home in the middle of the night armed with only a knife? Keep in mind there were multiple vehicles in the parking lot at 1122 King Road when the killings took place. While I would only consider taking a life in self-defense, I sure as heck would not go into a home with only a knife, not knowing what is on the other side of the door. If a gun had been used in this tragedy I would be more willing to buy the stalking angle. The killer had no idea (unless tipped off by someone) who was there that night, how many guys may have been crashing there and so on. So, you mean to tell me the defendant just strolled in there because he had an obsession with one or more of the females in the home? If this were the case, why not kidnap them? You would have ample opportunities to do this. It could be on her way to or from class, while leaving or going to a business, out for a jog or walk and so on. Unless you are already a member of the Bryan Kohberger is guilty club, you’re leaving all options on the table, including a drug hit or a drug deal gone bad.
  3. KOHBERGER CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL IN MOSCOW – While I hope I am wrong on this one, it is becoming less obvious that the defendant can get a fair trial in the town of 25,000 or so. All one has to do is go on social media and look at some of the Facebook discussion groups for instance. Some of them are loaded up with people ready to see this guy pass away following a conviction. If this were the Old West, some would have already done away with BK. Look, I want to see justice for the Idaho 4 as much as anyone. Getting to that point means we have a fair trial and the defendant is afforded all his Constitutional rights. I know that social media and the courtroom are two entirely different things. Even with that in mind, it is appalling at some of the comments I’ve read over these last number of months. For some on social media, it is guilty until proven innocent. Here is breaking news for these people frothing at the mouth for a death penalty being carried out, the defense only needs to put a sliver of doubt in the minds of the jury for there to be a mistrial or even a not guilty verdict. It is up to the state of Idaho to 100 percent convince 12 men/women that Kohberger is the only killer and that he murdered these four students. While I know we are likely to see more evidence at trial, right now I could not convict BK on what I have seen and heard. Doesn’t mean he’s not guilty, I just would not be doing my job as a member of the jury if I convicted him right now.

So, what have you found to be questionable, strange and even absurd in this case to date?

1122 King Road to remain standing for now

There is not a lot of good news that will come from a quadruple murder when you stop and think about it.

On Wednesday, those of us following the case of the Idaho 4 did get some good news. That is the house at 1122 King Road will remain standing at least for now.

If you’ve followed the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, you know that the home they were killed in has been in the limelight for many months now.

Once the home was given by the owner to the University of Idaho months ago, the latter indicated it would demolish the residence sooner than later. In fact, recent talk had been the home would come down prior to students heading back to the Moscow campus on Aug. 21 for the start of fall classes.

To many of us following the case, the home is the prime piece of evidence that officials have. At least the evidence we know to come out up to now through the gag order in place.

So, why would either the prosecution or the defense want the home torn down before a trial has finished up? It would seem beneficial to one or both to leave the home standing until the trial is over and we have a guilty or not guilty verdict.

I get the pain the home causes many in the community, especially the students living within eyesight of the six-bedroom residence.

Despite such emotional pain, I’ve always said leaving the home up until this tragedy is over with a court verdict was critical. Once the home is gone, it is gone forever. In my mind, you can have all the photos, state-of-the-art videos and so on of the inside and it will not replace actually being there.

Now, the question of actually being there in person should a jury make such a request is up in the air. The judge in this case would have to sign off on such a thing. Right now, there is no indication such an approval would be given. Of course we do not have a jury in place yet for a scheduled Oct. 2 trial of the defendant Bryan Kohberger.

It has been reported the inside of the residence is a bio-hazard among other things. It was also reported some of the floorboards and other key pieces of the home have been removed.

So, even if a jury was granted permission to tour it, the home would not be in the same shape it was on the morning of Nov. 13, 2022 when the murders took place.

I would still argue that should a jury be given the okay to tour the place that it would be worthwhile to them. Even if it is not the same conditions that were present the day four young adults lost their lives, just being there could sway one or more jury members in that they can better grasp what the defendant is accused of.

I visited the home (outside only) during my visit to Moscow back in late May. I can honestly say being there gave me an entirely different perspective of this case than what I had viewed on television or the Internet.

Short of any surprises in the coming weeks and months, 1122 King Road will remain for now.

Are you a conspiracy theorist if you have questions about MPD narrative?

I was raised to respect the police and do in large part to this day.

I’ve always admired and been thankful of anyone willing to put their life on the line for others.

With that as the backdrop, I also believe that some police get things wrong at times. There are also going to be the occasional few bad apples in an otherwise overall good group of hard working men and women.

So, is it okay to question the narrative that was put forth by the Moscow Police Department into the Idaho 4 killings?

What seemed like a relatively straightforward case early on remains that to a fair amount of people out there.

In their minds, accused killer Bryan Kohberger was stalking one or more of the women living at 1122 King Road. He allegedly entered the home in the overnight hours and killed Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin. So, to a sizable portion of those following this case, it is an open and shut matter.

On the flip side of the coin, you’ve got others who say not so fast.

I was in the former camp for several months after this case broke. Now, I’ve got a lot more questions than answers.

Among the prosecution issues that persist in my mind:

  • Why would Kohberger risk breaking into a home in the middle of the night when he supposedly had no idea how many people were there? – This includes the fact several guys could have been there besides Chapin. Would you enter a home in the middle of the night with multiple vehicles parked out front and armed only with a knife? The risk seems a lot greater than the reward. If you had a thing for one of the women in the home, why not take time to follow her routine and then kidnap her? Seems a much less riskier proposition than barging into a strange home and potentially taking on multiple guys not to mention five women.
  • Was it Kohberger at the wheel of the Elantra? – To date, your vehicle has not been positively identified as the car at the scene of the crime, arriving beforehand, and departing afterwards. Unless MPD is withholding it, I’ve not seen any footage that clearly shows a Pennsylvania or Washington license plate on the reported white Elantra (Kohberger lived in Pullman at the time of the killings and reportedly got plates for his new state residence at some point in November) nor a clear security camera image of BK at the wheel. While police say they have evidence of his vehicle and phone being in the area, those things could be explained away by a good defense attorney.
  • How could no one hear or see anything? – I’ve seen so much contradiction in one of the Facebook chat groups I’m in related to the case that my head spins at times. On one hand, the BK is guilty mob says the majority of neighbors (college kids) would be asleep if not passed out from being drunk at 4 a.m. ish when the terror reportedly began. As such, no witnesses to report anything other than what one of the surviving roommates (Dylan Mortensen) told cops. Keep in mind her info in the PCA does NOT clearly identify a specific individual. On the flip side of the coin, many in the BK is guilty mob also say it is quite common for college kids to be up at 4 a.m. and coming and going. Yes, I agree with that assessment. As such, wouldn’t one or more of these college kids coming and going in the neighborhood of King Road have seen or heard something?
  • Is it possible there is a cover up going on? – Let’s be quite honest, we don’t always get the truth from those in a position of power. While I want to believe the narrative we’ve been given, there is nothing wrong with questioning it. The City of Moscow, the University of Idaho, and the Moscow Police Department know rumors of a serial killer on the loose is bad for business. As such, getting the killer or killers off the streets as soon as possible is priority number one. I think that is something we can all agree on. In getting BK off the streets, did we get the right guy? He may well be guilty. If he is, I hope he gets the harshest sentence out there. On the other side of the coin, I also leave open the possibility others were allegedly involved. I’m also open to the fact BK is not the guy and in fact was possibly in the wrong place at the wrong time when things got out of control inside that home.

At the end of the day, we all want justice for the families involved. No parent should ever have to bury their child or look at their remains in an urn.

Hopefully at some point we get definitive answers and the person or persons responsible for this tragedy are held fully accountable.

What is actual evidence and what is gossip?

For anyone following the tragic deaths of the Idaho 4, sifting through actual evidence and the rumor mill has been a full-time job and then some.

While those of us watching the case closely only have a fraction of the information the police and prosecution have put out there, there’s so much more floating around the Internet.

From allegations that one of the victims was pregnant to a drug cartel hit to the suspect in custody was spotted on camera fleeing the scene and more, there is much to digest.

In trying to separate fact from fiction, here are some of the most talked about topics online of late:

  • Was one of the women pregnant and in fact there were 5 killed? – There is absolutely no credible evidence to suggest one of the three women was carrying a child at the time of this tragedy. Yet, this rumor has popped up online at times in chat rooms and on videos. While anything is possible. I’d be shocked if such a rumor ends up being true at the end of the day.
  • Was this a drug hit? – I am much more inclined to rule in the possibility of drugs being involved in this tragedy. Let’s not make any mistake here, Idaho like many other states has its share of drug issues. With that in mind, one would be naive to totally rule out the possibility drugs had a role in these attacks. That by no means implies 1122 King Road was a big drug distribution center or even one at all. It simply says do not rule out drugs having some role in this. The suspect in custody has a reported drug past. Some college kids dabble in drugs to one extent or another. There is some drug use among authorities such as those running colleges and universities and those sworn to protect us. While I bought into the stalker theory early on in the case, I’ve moved further away from it in recent months. The person under arrest does not strike me as a moron. As such, why would you take the risk of entering a strange home around 4 a.m. only armed with a knife and not knowing who all was in there if you were fixated on one or more of the females under the roof? Would have been much easier to opt for kidnapping and getting your target when they are most vulnerable. We have seen countless cases over the years where unfortunately women are taken or even killed while out for a jog, walk, going to and from their vehicle and so on. I just can’t wrap my head around this individual being so brazen to strut into a home in the middle of the night not knowing who and what is on the other side of the door because he was fixated on one or more of the tenants.
  • Suspect was definitely seen fleeing the scene – One of the ongoing discussions is that the person in custody was definitely seen leaving 1122 King Road. Let me state that police and the prosecution have NEVER released footage of a white Elantra fleeing the area that shows Bryan Kohberger at the wheel nor his license plate clear for all to see. Many assume it was him because the vehicle in question is similar to some degree to what he owned at the time. It is NOT a fact his face was spotted at the controls nor his license plate was seen. We may find out otherwise at trial once more information is allowed to freely flow. Until then, this like much of the case is speculation it was him. Given everyone is always presumed innocent until proven guilty, we can’t say with 100 percent certainty that he was driving a white Elantra leaving the scene of a quadruple murder. Same goes for the exiting back to Pullman where had an off-campus apartment. To date, no security camera footage along the 10 or so miles drive has been released that with 100 percent certainty shows him at the wheel nor his license plate in clear view.

There will no doubt be some twists and turns that come with this case once we get to the trial phase.

In the meantime, take all the information you see and hear with a grain of salt.

Only the killer/s and perhaps a small group of other people know what in fact went down at 1122 King Road in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022.

Today is day to honor five special dads

As we mark Father’s Day here nationwide, it is important to say thank you to all the dads having made a difference.

While I never had children, I can only imagine the sacrifices that both men and women put into raising one child or multiples ones.

The deaths last fall of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin not only rocked Moscow, Idaho, but countless other towns and cities across the country. The four were brutally murdered in the off campus home that Goncalves, Mogen and Kernodle lived in. Chapin, boyfriend of Kernodle, was spending the night there.

Steve Goncalves, Ben Mogen, Steve Laramie (stepfather of Madison Mogen), Jeff Kernodle and Jim Chapin face their first Father’s Day without their beloved children killed in the early morning hours of Nov. 13.

While there will be plenty of time to talk more about the case moving forward, today is a day to send love to Steve G., Ben, Steve, Jeff and Jim.

I think it is safe to say after this tragic event that Kaylee, Madison, Xana and Ethan have millions of adopted parents nationwide now wanting justice for them and their families.

Trust me when I say that many will make sure the four are not forgotten.

For those five fathers having their first Father’s Day without their University of Idaho kids today, you are not forgotten either.

Has social media world already convicted Kohberger?

If you spend a ton of time on social media as I do for both work and personal interests, you may well have seen the hashtag #BryanKohberger. Another popular one is #Idaho4.

Sadly, both hashtags and others like them refer to the Nov. 13, 2022 killings of four young adults in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho.

Sometime in the 3 a.m. – 4:30 a.m. time frame that Sunday, four lives were ended in a matter of minutes. Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin would not live to see the sun come up. For the four families of these University of Idaho students, their lives were taken that day in a manner too.

As we are now some seven months past the tragedy, those following the case continue to have opinions. Those opinions are often found on various social media platforms on a daily basis. Among the most popular for such opinions are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube and more.

While social media can be great for sharing information, learning about topics, and even helping in time of crimes such as kids gone missing, the social networking world has its dark side too.

If you go into various chat groups regarding the Idaho 4 case, you will discover that Kohberger has already been convicted in the court of social media. No trial, no presumed innocent until proven guilty etc. To many people partaking in these social media chats, the Pennsylvania native should get what may be coming to him. If this was the Old West, I think we would already have had a hanging if up to many of these folks.

I honestly do not know like the majority of others out there if Kohberger in fact did kill these four students. He may well have. If so, I hope he gets the maximum sentence and I would not bat an eye if that meant the death penalty.

On the flip side of the coin, I’m not ready to convict him or anyone else for that matter until I have heard and seen all the evidence from both the prosecution and defense.

What seemed to many (including myself early on) like an open and shut case has opened some eyes of late.

Like many individuals, I’m guilty of repeating myself at times. As such, cut me a little slack if you have read or heard the following from me before:

  • How does one individual go into a home in presumably dark conditions or limited lighting at best and wipe out four healthy young adults with only a knife in 13 minutes or so and on two different floors? Is it possible? By all means it is possible. Is it a slam dunk case for the prosecution? Hell no. Even if you assume all four students were drunk or even had drugs in their systems, you would have to catch them at just the right time, take out a key artery in a matter of seconds, not having to worry about any of them putting up a defense. Mind you this is all the while as you don’t know how many others are in the home and may be alerted to what one would think would be some screaming and other such commotion.
  • How does a person then after committing such a heinous crime leave the home with no trail of blood? If these murders were as ugly as we were led to believe from initial police reports, the killer should have blood all over them. Did they take a change of clothes with them and disrobe after killing the four? Seems like the last thing you would want to do would be take time to change clothes, especially when you could have others still alive in the home and a dog also.
  • Speaking of others in the home alive, why no attack on the two surviving roommates we’ve come to know as Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke? Hey, I am certainly happy both survived this early morning terror. But why did they live and the other four die? This is where my mind begins to drift to the possibility of this being some sort of drug hit and certain lives were left unharmed for a reason.
  • Why have toxicology results on the four victims and the infamous 911 call some 7-8 hours after the attacks not been released? How could one or both compromise the case and BK’s right to a fair trial? I am especially interested in the toxicology reports on the four. If one, several or all of them had drugs in their systems, this would lend more credibility to this being a drug hit.
  • When it comes to the infamous video most of us have seen now, what exactly did Mogen tell Adam (the bartender at a local club)? Goncalves is seen with Mogen and a male downtown hours before the two women are killed. In that video (https://tinyurl.com/3hu8pdu5), Mogen tells Goncalves she told Adam everything. Was it just talk about a guy or something involving drugs?
  • Did the University of Idaho and City of Moscow officials want a quick arrest following the Nov. 13 murders? While BK wasn’t arrested for nearly six weeks after the crimes, you can bet U of I and Moscow businesses were happy. Having an alleged serial killer roaming Moscow is not good for business on many fronts. With that in mind, did they get the right guy? Better yet, if BK in fact is the guy, did he have help? If yes, then we still have one or more criminals walking the streets of Moscow or are long gone by now.

While I participate in different social media chats regarding the case, I always go into them with an open mind. You are always going to have some people who want a conviction based more on emotion than the facts.

Time will tell if authorities got the right guy.

Meantime, some on social media are hoping BK and the death penalty go hand in hand.

So, with the evidence we have today (no doubt the police have more), would you easily convict BK in the murders of the Idaho 4?

Could a cover up be taking place in Moscow?

What happened in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho was tragic to say the least.

Four young lives with so much future ahead of them snuffed out in a matter of minutes.

When news broke of the Idaho 4 murders, many people were naturally stunned, appalled, upset and more. Imagine for a moment what the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were going through. Now some seven months later, the families are still torn by what many are thinking was not imaginable.

How could four young college students be dealt such a brutal ending to lives they barely had time to enjoy?

Some six weeks or so after the unimaginable happened at 1122 King Road, an individual was arrested on the other side of the country. As we work our way through the middle of June, Bryan Kohberger, 28, remains in a Moscow jail, charged with four counts of felony murder and one count of felony burglary.

So, is it likely that the police narrative that Kohberger broke into the home and killed the four students is in fact the truth?

There are Facebook groups dedicated to talking about the infamous case, what likely went down, what the future may hold as far as justice and so on. To many people in one group on FB (University of Idaho Murders – Case Discussion), Kohberger, who is presumed innocent until proven guilty, has already been convicted in the court of social media. If you mention the possibility of other alternatives, possible drug sales playing a role in the killings etc. you may well be labeled a conspiracy person.

I must admit that early on in the case and for a few months after, I took the bait. That was this was a stalking case of one or two of the women in the home and the suspect murdered those he could not have. Sadly, one or more of the victims may have been collateral damage on the morning of Nov. 13.

As time has passed, however, I am more inclined to think something more nefarious may be going on. Yes, I am beginning to think there may be a cover up to some degree or another happening.

Whenever a case of this magnitude finds its way into the world of social media, there will inevitably be many rumors, thoughts and the like as to what may have gone down. The Idaho 4 case is by no means any different.

While I have not a shred of evidence at the moment to back this up, my suspicion radar has been turning upwards in recent weeks. With that in mind, here is one possible scenario I see having taken place.

Sadly, drugs may well have played a role in the tragedy that unfolded that November morning at 1122 King Road. One or more people wanted one or more individuals in that home silenced over a possible drug sale gone bad, someone possibly going to authorities to rat one or more folks out, and even the possibility that higher ups in either the Moscow Police Department and/or the University of Idaho were afraid the public would learn some not so flattering news.

If you put your commonsense hat on for a moment, think about the following:

  • Most killers do not go into a strange home with multiple vehicles parked out front armed only with a knife. The risk of failure, being caught or even worse is relatively high. If you buy into the theory that Kohberger was stalking one or more of the females in the home, why not just follow and kidnap her at some point? Much less dangerous than going into a home where multiple boyfriends and/or guy buddies could be crashing for the night.
  • Why no blood trail (at least that we know of) leading from the home to a getaway car? There is all but no way all the reported blood from four victims cut open with a knife would not be carried outside to some degree. That is unless the suspect had help on the inside to get cleaned up and have what one would assume would be bloody clothing destroyed.
  • Why have the police not released toxicology reports on the four victims? I have heard multiple times how most if not all the victims were drunk to some degree when attacked. As such, they were not in a good position to know what was happening and/or fight back. Release the info along with the 911 call. Neither will taint a planned October trial. Is someone trying to hide something?
  • Was Kohberger arrested because he in fact is the lone killer? Or, was this an arrest requested by higher ups at MPD and U of I to quell fear in the community, keep a lid on potentially losing many students for the second semester? The potential for many students deciding not to come back after holiday break was there. Face it; Moscow in large part depends on the University of Idaho to keep going. Lose a big chunk of that revenue and suddenly businesses may be forced to close.

Like the majority of people, I was not in the home those early morning hours when all of this went down. As such, I do not know what truly transpired.

What I do know is that most alleged killers are not brazen enough to waltz into a strange home at 4 or so in the morning minus a gun and not knowing what may be on the other side of the door.

So, do you think Bryan Kohberger simply had a thing for one or more of the women living there and was determined to carry out what may have been some kind of sick fantasy?

Or, do you think that BK is being framed by some in power who don’t want one or more dirty secrets about Moscow getting out to the public?

Thank you very much for reading and please share your thoughts.

How vulnerable was the home on King Road?

What made 1122 King Road stand out to a killer?

When you stand outside the property and walk around it, nothing stands out of note.

Having seen the house in person Memorial Day weekend, I was amazed at how much more compact the neighborhood is than what you see on television. Being there in person gives you an even better appreciation of how on top of one another these homes and apartments are.

That said, the home at 1122 had to stand out for some reason to the alleged killer.

Even more perplexing is did this quadruple murder have to take place to begin with?

The prevailing theory is that the killer entered the home from the kitchen patio door on what is considered the second floor of the three-story residence. It is also reported from one of the two surviving roommates that the killer left the home through that same sliding door.

While it is easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, there were several deficiencies that made the residents at 1122 more vulnerable.

The most glaring one to me was the fact that the patio was accessible to anyone who wanted to go there.

Imagine for a moment if that patio had been surrounded by a big gate and/or fence. Yes, the killer may well had still be able to get in. That said, a big gate/fence surrounding the patio outside the kitchen door would have made it much more challenging. Also, think about how security cameras may have led a killer to think twice about entering. The individual who owned the home at the time of the killings has since given the property to the University of Idaho. It is now boarded up and much more difficult for someone to break in (there is also security there 24/7 now).

We also do not know if the residents (Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, Bethany, Dylan) locked the doors on a regular basis. If they did not, this would have made it so much easier for the killer to come in.

Let’s be honest…. it is Moscow, Idaho and not Chicago or Los Angeles. You’re not expecting to have a quadruple homicide in a town of some 25,000 people. As such, it would not be terribly uncommon for many people to not lock their doors and windows in this quaint little college town.

The old adage that a killer will do whatever it takes to kill is true. Even better security at 1122 King Road may not have prevented this tragedy.

At the end of the day, however, that home was vulnerable as were its occupants on that fateful Nov. 13 morning.
